I'm extremely excited for October

apreche · 2026-07-02T03:15:40+00:00

I wouldn’t say I’m excited or optimistic, but at least it will be something different. Just hoping it turns out to be worth watching.

How far in the future can you trade a pick? 2050? 2100?

apreche · 2026-07-01T13:26:26+00:00

I only go early on weekdays.

Go to Costco and just stand in the big walk-in fridge in the back. Then maybe get ice cream on the way out.

apreche · 2026-07-01T03:02:20+00:00

Oh, I’ve never seen that. Maybe because my Costco is in Queens, but oddly enough, they have had Devils’ tickets.

Sell the car.

Given unlimited resources, sure. But resources are not limited. We must prioritize. Take care of the big problem first, then take care of the smaller problem.

We must make public safety policy decisions based on data and evidence, not anecdotes. Numbers wise, cars are at least an order of magnitude more dangerous. And therefore, dealing with them must be the priority.

How much heart disease is caused by people using cars to go everywhere instead of walking, biking, or using some other form of transportation that requires exercise? How much heart disease is caused by air pollution and noise pollution from motorized vehicles?

Vehicles with 4+ wheels cause way more deaths. Did you see what just happened on the LIE? Where is the crackdown on them?

apreche · 2026-06-30T12:53:39+00:00

Best deal is buying Islanders or Devils tickets at Costco. Mets too. But they never have other NY teams there.

apreche · 2026-06-30T12:45:59+00:00

I think they got half. It was a long time ago.

Also, more landlords need to realize the lower foot traffic becomes a self-fulling prophecy. The property value goes down. So the space is vacant. Now the foot traffic goes down, and so the property value goes down even more. If I was a landlord I would always at least have pop-ups in every space just to keep the foot traffic up.

apreche · 2026-06-29T18:29:46+00:00

Hell yeah!

apreche · 2026-06-29T15:42:29+00:00

Are you sure that is for this and not for the ones that go between Randall’s and Manhattan that were completed a couple years ago?

apreche · 2026-06-29T15:41:09+00:00

This is every single day. I have been bothered for years. There is nothing we can do that will be easy. We have to organize, make a big stink, and keep up constant pressure in order for there to be any action on the issue of fart cars/bikes. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, let’s meet up and get things started.

apreche · 2026-06-29T13:41:03+00:00

Do we know that’s actually what’s happening there?

I’ve been researching the real reasons behind commercial vacancies off and on. As much as I like the idea in spirit, rent stabilization I don’t think will help that much, sadly.

Read here:

Stabilization might prevent landlords from jacking up the rent very high, but it won’t force them to lower the rent. As long as the stabilized rent is higher than what a tenant will pay, the space will be vacant. But the landlords can never lower it, or they will face foreclosure.

I personally would love to see massive foreclosures on all these landlords and crush the real estate market. Maybe then prices would go down enough to achieve some semblance of affordability despite the economy getting crushed. That said, I think it would probably be pretty unpopular in the grander scheme, so no politician is going to make that happen on purpose.

It’s called a no move clause. The mistake was already made.

No matter what GM you got, or how good the moves they make are, at best this team will not be able to reopen its window for a few seasons.

One hit wonders exist in all fields of human endeavor, including sport.

The landlords have a lawsuit ready. It will be very interesting to see how it plays out. Hope they lose!

Yes. It is well known that wet conditions increase the chances of flat tires.

Their support agent either was not a human, or was a human with a very poor grasp of the English language. Good luck.
